Student Orientation is geared toward preparing new students for a successful transition to the UCLA campus. Part of that transition involves the encouragement and understanding of the family. So whether you are a parent, spouse, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or sibling of a new UCLA student, you are part of a whole support process that will promote student success at UCLA.

The adjustments that face new UCLA students are varied and complex, with more academic demands in a new learning environment. Within this, students need to show greater personal independence and responsibility.

Family Orientation Program is designed to provide information on: the factors leading to achievement at UCLA; the role of families in promoting student achievement; graduation requirements and curriculum alternatives; student services information; how students are advised regarding courses & campus involvement; the environment at UCLA.

Family Orientation also provides you with the opportunity to meet with undergraduate student counselors and hear about their adjustments to UCLA, tour the campus, and meet UCLA faculty and administrators. I encourage you to attend Family Orientation and take advantage of this chance to better understand what faces new UCLA students. Please encourage the new UCLA student from your family to attend a Student Orientation session as well.

As family members of a new UCLA Bruin, you must be very proud. It is a distinction that reflects upon not only the accomplishments of the student, but also upon your influence in guiding him/her to this part of life. It is our goal to have you continue to support your student’s academic success and personal development while at UCLA.
